DLC Only: Pass Through Dragon's Pit to Reach Charo's Hidden Grave
The Tibia Mariner in Charo's Hidden Grave is only accessible if you have the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC and gained access to the Land of Shadow. It will require you to clear the Dragon's Pit cave dungeon.
From there, you will unlock the way to Jagged Peak and be able to go south to climb the Giant Dead Dragon and reach Charo's Hidden Grave.

How to Beat Tibia Mariner
| Tips for Beating Tibia Mariner |
|---|
| Use Group Spirit Ashes |
| Use Strike, Holy Damage and Scarlet Rot |
| Prepare Physical and Magical Damage Negation |
| Fight on Horseback |
Use Group Spirit Ashes to Distract Skeleton Summons
The Tibia Mariner alone is an easy boss to kill due to its slow and telegraphed attacks, but becomes a chore to fight due to its ability to summon skeletons that demand your attention.
Use group Spirit Ash summons like the Mausoleum Soldier Spirit Ashes or Greatshield Soldier Spirit Ashes to even the numbers and kill, or at least draw the aggro of, the Mariner's summons so you can focus on the actual boss.

Use Strike, Holy Damage and Scarlet Rot
The Tibia Mariner is weakest against Strike and Holy damage, with -40% damage resistance against the two types. The DLC-exclusive Black Steel Greathammer is the perfect weapon for dealing both those types of damage, but there are also decent base game options like the Envoy's Horn, Staff of the Avatar, and Beastclaw Greathammer.
For DoT builds, the Tibia Mariner is immune to everything except Scarlet Rot, so you'll be limited to weapons like the Antspur Rapier or incantations like Rotten Breath and Ekzykes's Decay.
Prepare Physical and Magical Damage Negation
Unless you're severely underleveled, the Tibia Mariner and its skeletons won't pose much of an upfront threat damage-wise. Still, you should prepare talismans for physical and magic damage negation so that their damage doesn't accumulate over time.
Considering most of the Mariners will be encountered mid-game or near endgame, it would be best to seek out and equip talismans such as the Dragoncrest Shield Talisman +1 and the DLC-exclusive Spelldrake Talisman +3 to bolster your defenses.
Fight on Horseback
Attacking while on Torrent is highly suggested for two reasons: the first is so you can easily move in and out of the Tibia Mariner's melee range to constantly harass and attack him, and the second is so you can swiftly chase him down when he teleports after you have pressured him with enough attacks.
